MANNING SUGGESTED. One of the South Carolina Congress ional Delegation Thinks He is the Man. Columbia Record. Washington, March 43.-I talked Oday with one of the most prominent of the South Carolina delegation in the house as to the politicaT situation in South Carolina. . "In my opinion the dispensary ad vocates should unite upon State Sen ator Manning as their candidate for governor," was his declaration. He is from the upper part of the state, too, where there is usually not strong b cking from a candidate from the lower section. "Manning would, be yond all doubt, be the strongest, ablest and cleanest man in the field. t. Ye shows his courage in the present fight and would make such a campaign as would inspire the confidence of the dispensary supporters. The election of a man like Manning, a square, fair supporter of the dispensary under -M-establish the system in the confi *nce of the people than anything else. With Manning in the govern or's office there would be retribution ould rascality be shown. "There is going to -be a disposition on the part of the Gubernatorial can didates to pla'y a middle ground in this whole thing, to fool all sides if they can do so, but Manning would need no explanation of his position, wou4ld create' no suspicion on the part Uf the dispensary folks and would take a brilliant leader in the fight that is sure to follow. "As to Tillman, I don't believe there is a sane man in the state who looks for serious opposition to him, 4;d with his support the dispensary will again win over its enemies. If there had been clean, open, . square politics played against the dispensary there might have been trouble for it, but there has been too much under laded dirt in the whole thing, tooi ;6ueh blackguarding of character and vile insinuation."

MAN'S DISPLAY OF JEWBLRY.I P6ads Smartest of Gems for Him Used for Studs and Scarf Pins * -The Ouf Links of Good Taste.1 here is more jewelry than ever for ien; to wear, but it does not follow that all well dressed men avail them selves of the opportunity to display what they are commonly expected to indulge in only moderately. What with the gold trappings that are now *made for a key chain, the gold cigar ette and card cases and the other ar ticles of gold that are a regular part of dress, a man may invest a large sum of money in jewelry and lok a very great deal like a bounder. On the other hand, he may spend a great deal more money for jewelry and yet be dressed in perfect taste and modesty. The man who wears too many rings, pins and other jewels is eertain to be noticed immediately. -Women are the first, too, to^eriticise ~him among themselves for lack of taste. How often does one hear wo man say: , . "Oh, yes, he's a nice fellow. But he wears too many rings'' The numnber of permissible jewels in good taste is large enough now to sat isyevery reasonable person, and -a man may have all he 'wants, so long as he is careful as to the way he wears them. Take, for instance, the *subject of rings. A seal may always be worn. When it be gold or some kind of stone, it is permissible always on the third fin ger of the left hand, however numer ous the rings on the right hand may *be. On the third and the small finger of the right hand two or three rings may be worn, so long as they are of " the appropriate kinds. Carved gold or silver rings, rings with such stones a.s a cabochon, sapphire, a cat's eye, eornelian, an emerald or a ruby, so; long as they are set down in the ring and are thus made inconspicuous, are in good taste. It has frequently been questioned* whether diamonds should be worn in rings at any time. Some men do wear them, however, and they are often men dressed in excellent taste. They usually contrive to have the stone set down inconspieuusly. SOld gold or gold so deeply coveredi as to have almost the look of bronze is frequently used for a diamond set ting, to tone down its excessive bril liancy. There are nowadays a number! of semi-precious stones that are very~ effective and well bred in men's rings. The number of rings a man may wear depends, of course, on the na ture of his occupation. To see busy~ men hustling about down-town in the tirry of business with their fingers -rawith as many rings as good~ 4t.aste ;llows (loes not. seem appropri ite. For a man who sits all day in his )ffice there is less evident impropriety '11 so mulch jwery. The men who in dule their Laste in this particular :are( usually men who.se oeupat ion Ne carries them11 furlther d1OWn-ow than 23rd siret. There has been a great demand Jurinrz recent years for antique rings. providing that they have some real value. They must be worn, of course. xith appropriate modern rings. and if more than one old ring is worn the two must harmonize. These old rings contrasted with obviously new and modern rings do not make a happy combination. For evening wear most men prefer pearl studs and nothing is handsomer. Most New Yorkers wear two pearls in the shirt bosom. These should not be too large. even if their owner is a multi-millionaire. The. Oriential and not the baroeque pearls are, of course, most in demand. The single large pearl surrounded by small diamonds is less frequently seen here than in London, where this style is popular. The best dressed New York men prefer two medium sized pearls of fine lustre. If they want to spend money on their shirt studs they put it into the quality of the pearls and not the size. So many men wear buttons for their waistcoat matching the studs that there is a tendency to have both the sleeve links and the waistcoat buttons made of pearls. Especially has this appealed to men able to do what they want without thinking of the price. But the correct buttons to wear with pearls are made of mother of pearl. Sometimes tiny diamonds may be put into the middle of these buttons. These are i'he best style for wear with white studs. although barocque pearls are used also for the waistcoat but tons and the links. They are, of course, unusually large for this pur pose. Of great value but in questionable taste is a set of links and waistcoat buttons shown by a 5th avenue jew eller. They were made of large round pearls, larger even than the pearls in the studs. They cost in the thous ands.. Moon stone studs surrounded with thin bands of gold have waistcoat but tons and sleeve links to match. In the colored stones these are so beau tiful that it is not! difficult to under stand \vhy men are tempted to aban don .the old standard of only black and' white and wear these buttons in emeralds, sapphires, rubies, turquoises and amethysts and even coral and to pazes. All these studs come rimmed with slender bands of gold, the studs dif fering from the links and waistcoat buttons only in size. The links are usually made of oval stones. These colored studs have often been tried for soft summer negligee shirts, but it is impossible to keep them in the button holes. These shirts are not starched and the buttons cannot be made to hold, whatever may be done. The shirtmaker who could contrive a means by wvhich these buttons could be made to keep in place would prob ably earn a comfortable fortune from the device. In spite of the danger of losing them, these colored buttons are worn all summer at Newport, where the col ors of the stones are, of course, made to harmonize with the shirt's mate Links for ordinary wear are seldom made with precious stones. Occasion ally one sees rubies, emeralds or sap phires in sleeve links, but the cuff but tons made in this country are general ly of plain gold marked with the monogram~ or with a semi-precious stone surrounded by gold. The plain gold links are made up in endless designs to suit every kind of taste. For sporty men they are made as crops, dumb-bells, golf clubs or stirrups. The enamelled crystal links painted with sporting scenes are as popular as the pins of the same kind, but they demand a great inter est in sport and an unwavering admi ration for all things British to pay the price asked for jewelry of this . These pieces of erystal in which the sporting scenes are carved an'd paint ed have long been the most popular sporting jewelry in England and are brought over here in large quantities. They are very much affected by the Long Island set for wear' while hunt ing, but possess -little beauty -in them selves. Sometimes ,a complete hunt ing scene, with the pack and several figures, will be shown on these pins and buttons. No links are better style than those of gold with an old fashioned band of tracery surrounding the initials of the wearer united in a simple script mono gram. The foreign fashion of having a cuff button consist of one link and a smple br of gold has never beeni Most buttons of this kind made in France and Ciermany have the gold link set with -roups of precious stolnes. Bti they look cheap and in Complete in spite of the stones. Pearls are just as much preferred foi scarf pins by men who can afford them as they are for studs. A pear shaped pearl, plain or surrounded at the narrow end with a tiny ring of (liamonds, a round pearl perfectly plan or surrounded with a ring of diamonds that must not be large enough to make a distinct impression, and a black pear-shaped pearl are equaly smart for men who can afford them. Pearls both for pins and for studs may be worn in the deepest mourning, although black enamel is usually pre ferred in first mourning. Gold pins in such designs as pipes, racing plates, fox heads and horse heads are much more modish for men nowadays than designs made up in gold with small stones. There are hundred of these models which are graceful and pretty but not smart. The gYold safety pin, which has been so much worn during the last few years, has now unluckily lost its vogue among well dressed men. It was not a style that could stand wide spread popularity. So long as only a comparatively I small number of men wore the pins they continued smart. But they lost that distinction as soon as they were put on the market at prices which put them within the reach cf anybody. They ha~ve been imitated in brass and have passed over into the office boy's wardrobe. Men who want, to buy an expensive and handsome scarf pid nowadays have but one opinion. They buy a pearl of one of the kind described. Watch chains are single and extend usually from one waistcoat pocket to another. Rather large and perfectly plain links are the most popular. It is only important that the chain be. perfectly simple and free from any ornamentation of the kind formerly described as watch chains. The chain may be made as expensive and heavy as desirable. Watch fobs with a gold monogram on the silken ribbon and those with seals on amethyst or other stones are offered .very generally in the best of the jewelry stores, but 'it cannot be said that they are popular here. In the countries of Europe they are gen erally worn by men who change the black ribbon for a white one when; they wear evening dress. Of course no such extravagant fash ion has been attempted here. Women love to buy men fobs for* Christmas presents but they are very little worn afterward by their grate-. ful recipients. Key chains are not so popular as they were. Commoner are the short chains that, with a small gold lock, will contain only a bunch of keys. But there are many attractive ob .jects to be p)ut on a key chain for the man who wants to spend money or who has friends who want to spend it for him. One set of these articles in a 5th avenue jewelry store included a heavy gold chain, and ring, a gold knife, pencil and a small card case. To accompany this was a long gold ei-; garette case capable of holding twen ty cigarettes. Even for the unseen objects of his dress it is still possible to spend mon ey on a man. There are gold suspend er clasps and gold clasps for his gar-! ters. A Mother's Retort. Dr. Breckenridge, a well known American clergyman, and his two brothers, also of the same profession,; one day paid a visit to their mother. "Do you not think, mother," said! he 'that you ruled us with too rigid a rod in our boyhood? * It would have* been better, I think had you used gen-: tier methods." The old lady straightened up and: said. "Well, William, when you have raised up three as good preachers as I have, then you can talk.'' NOTICE. All persons in sympathy with the Cotton association are requested to meet at Newberry on March the 10th 'at 11 o'clock a. m. Let every one give one day to the interest of the cotton association, an organization that has done so much for the Cotton States. Will have a speaker. R. T. C. Hunter, Prerident. Dr. R. M. Kennedy, DEINTIST. Newberry, - - S. C. c VER NATIONA L BANK. Fireman Grabbed Flying Eagle. Donver Republican. The fireman and engineer who took the Rocky Mountain limited out of here last Sunday morning captured an immense American eagle as it was flving in the air. The experience is probably unique in railroading. The unfortunate king of birds will spend the remainder of his days in satiating the wondering gaze of the crowds at City Park. The eagle measures 7 feet and 4 inches from tip to tip. It was about 1 o'clock Saturday afternon when nearing Limon that the engine crew noticed the bird flying low and straight ahead of the train. The train was then travelling at from sixty to sixty-five miles an hour, and if it did not change its course it was evident that the eagle would be over taken. The bird was on the left side and as the engine flashed by the fire man reacred out and grabbed the bird by a leg and pulled it into the cal. With the aid of the* engineer the big fellow was downed and tied, but it took quite a fight. A man would have to have mighty little sense to fulfill the expectations of his children. If money was a porous plaster it would still be sticking to somebody else than yourself. When a man says a corporation has made him a fine offer, he means he has applied for the job.
